telnet-encryption
NSE detection rule by Unknown · Same as Nmap--See https://nmap.org/book/man-legal.html
Determines whether the encryption option is supported on a remote telnet
server. Some systems (including FreeBSD and the krb5 telnetd available in many
Linux distributions) implement this option incorrectly, leading to a remote
root vulnerability. This script currently only tests whether encryption is
supported, not for that particular vulnerability.
